There are no scratches or marks on the cover, save for a small amount of discoloration below in "in" on back cover see last pic. No seam spplit. Spine is intact and clean as well.
Vinyl:
M-/NM No spindle wear, no audible scratches or pops. Very glossy, flat and round. Not handled or played often. Sounds great, NO scratches or scuffs were visible under bright light. No visible signs of being played. Not opened or handled much, if at all.
No promo stamp I could find, but appears to be a first press of this LP.
Condition is subjective, please spend a moment or two to zoom in and decide for yourself if this is a record you wish to invest in. To truly enjoy this record get an original copy, original mix and in a condition that does not compromise the sonics and provides full range sound. Get a copy, like this, that you can actually listen to at a rockin' volume.
None of my records have been machine cleaned, I prefer not to do so. All may benefit from such a clean, I just prefer to use light brushing to clean my LP's.
If you have questions please ask prior to bidding or buying.
3.99 SHIPPING TO US (lower 48) in professional slim record box, not in an envelope via media mail. Each box costs me $1, I do not skimp on shipping records.
I will ship worldwide - send a question for a quote. Worldwide shipping is not free. Shipping is $27 to Europe and Asia. I will require tracking, which is why the cost is a little more than usual. I sell to only select international buyers and countries at my discretion.

From Web Review
Larks' Tongues In Aspic is the Fifth Album by the English Progressive-Rock Band King Crimson.
In just 4 years, King Crimson had gone through three Personnel changes, that left Robert Fripp the sole survivor from their Debut (In The Court Of The Crimson King, 1969). It did not last long as Percussionist Jamie Muir left during the Tour to support Larks'... for many a long time it was thought it was due to an injury taken onstage (A Gong fell on his foot, he was quite the Animal playing Live), only later being revealed that in fact Muir had gone through a seriously bad spiritual moment. For Larks'... Fripp sought a different sound than all the previous Albums, he dropped the characteristic Saxophone and woodwinds, and brought to the Band the principle of Improvisation (Muir was an expert on that, the reason why he was picked first). Fripp also brought Drummer Bill Bruford along. Bruford was already an experienced Musician, having just recorded Yes's Close To The Edge (He left the Band due to being confident that he had done all he could there and wanting to expand his Musical competences even further. Crimson's new Jazz-Fusion Improvisational Sound was exactly what he wanted). This is often considered to be one of the Finest examples of the Sound of King Crimson and numerous times associated with the Cosmic-Rock sonority.
Best Tracks - “Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part One”, “Book Of Saturday”, “Exiles” and “Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part Two”. This is Jazz-Fusion alright. I mean, Progressive-Rock. I mean Heavy-Metal? It is what it is. I've always found the descriptions of KC's sound very lacking and not grasping the true complexity of their Sound. I cannot do it. No one can do it. Sometimes Music surpasses Writing (Faulkner used to say that if he hadn't got such a bad ear, he would be playing Music, not writing, as Music is the only Art that can translate feelings with total precision). Just listen to it.
